Camila Valim, who spent two decades as a marketing manager in an entertainment group, began working as a consultant after leaving her job for mental health reasons. However, after her contract ended, her job search became a significant challenge. As a single mother, responsible for providing for her two children aged 9 and 12, Valim has only managed to attend two job interviews over the course of eight months.
New Challenges and Food Delivery
After a disappointing experience in an interview for a brand and communications manager position, Valim realized she needed to make more serious decisions. With a suggestion from a cousin, she started delivering food using an electric bicycle. This new job has given her more flexibility and allows her to continue searching for a new job while supporting her children.
Through food delivery, Valim has not only provided for herself but has also used this opportunity to create new content and rebuild her previous business. Along this journey, she has faced lessons about timing and productivity and enjoys the freedom that comes from working outdoors.
A Shared and Recognized Experience
By sharing a video on Instagram about her new circumstances, Valim has captured the attention of many users. The video, which garnered nearly 900,000 views, showed that she feels no shame and hopes others will become familiar with this feeling as well. She says, "This is a bridge for me until I sell my house and continue my new life. I am still looking for the next chapter of my career."
